I am hoping it will bounce back and look good by the end of the summer this year.Now that i know for sure it likes to be pot bound, i am wondering if i should repot into a smaller pot since so much of it died back.I don't know though maybe i should wait to see if any of comes back this summer.
In the 1st. pictures i posted at the beginning of this thread you can see how well it does outside,it blooms every summer,it is even blooming now.I have heard stressing a plant can cause it to bloom?? Here's pictures of the differences in the plant from being inside and then going outside.

This is in March when it's starts to warm up & i put it out now & then on warm days that the sun is out.

This photo was taken to show the different types,mine is 'beauty kim' it has the other types of leaves in 1 plant.The red,green & leaves with white in them.A really cool looking prayer plant.

Here you can see by August it's grown and blooms constantly.If you look these plants up it will say the flowers are insignificant,but when the whole plant is cover with these little white blooms, with one on top of the other i think they are anything but insignificant.

Here's a photo by November and you can see it's no longer as full etc... Even though it was November we still have warm weather with spurts of cold weather and the plant out been out in the warm sun part of that day,if you look close you can see it's raining outside the window and the plants wet.

If you ever decide to try putting your plant(s) outside i just put mine under trees and water almost everyday.It's planted in almost straight peat(sphagnum) moss and with our high temps it dries quickly but it loves the humidity.I hang it where i also put my Hoya's & Rhipsalis'. Their under trees in a place that has leaves & pine straw on the ground so i get the ground good & wet hoping to raise the humidity coming from under the plants ( if that even makes sense or is possible)

P.S. sorry it has taken me so long to get back to this thread!! *Blush*
A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
